The player who is expected to be the No. 1 overall pick, Trevor Lawrence, took the field for his pre-draft workout and did not disappoint. With Urban Meyer watching from five yards away and the rest of the NFL watching, too, Lawrence threw 52 passes and had limited drops or flaws in the process.
Lawrence started his day with a weigh-in and checked in at 213 pounds. While that may seem concerning, it’s worth noting his left labrum injury has likely prevented him from lifting weights extensively. In terms of his height, he was just short of 6-foot-6 (6-foot-5 5/8), so there were no surprises there.
Lawrence’s pro day took place much earlier than expected due to him needing to repair the aforementioned left labrum issue. While the abrupt discovery only gave him a week to prepare for the workout, it’s now out of the way, and he can begin the medical procedure and rehab process this month.
As the reports from last week stated, Lawrence gave the media a timeline of four to five months for a full recovery, which means he’ll be ready for training camp. He also added that he would need to avoid throwing for six to eight weeks.
Despite his injury, Lawrence made Friday look easy. Here are all throws he made courtesy of NFL Network:
